**Names Make Headlines.

The Lake Makes History.**

Two Shores. One Great Lake.

A tribute to the waters that connect New York and Ontario — and the generations who call these shores home.

From quiet mornings on the lake to lighthouse sunsets, sailing traditions and memories made along the shoreline, Lake Ontario has always been more than a line on a map.

This 2026 commemorative medallion captures that connection in detailed relief, deep-blue lake accents and timeless maritime imagery.

Two shores. Two countries. One remarkable lake.

Designed for collectors, lake lovers, travelers and anyone with a connection to Lake Ontario.

MORE THAN A LAKE.

A PLACE WE SHARE.

Lake Ontario connects communities across New York and Ontario.

Different shores.
Different stories.
The same water.

The front of the medallion celebrates the unmistakable shape of Lake Ontario, framed by the two regions that share its shoreline.

At its heart:

TWO SHORES • ONE GREAT LAKE

A simple message that captures what Lake Ontario has represented for generations.

A DESIGN FULL OF LAKE ONTARIO DETAILS

The centerpiece is a richly detailed representation of Lake Ontario, finished with deep-blue enamel-style accents that contrast beautifully against the antique silver appearance.

Around it, subtle symbols represent both sides of the lake without overwhelming the design.

• LAKE ONTARIO prominently displayed across the top
• TWO SHORES • ONE GREAT LAKE beneath the title
• Detailed Lake Ontario shoreline and water texture
• NEW YORK represented with a star
• ONTARIO represented with a maple leaf
• Sailboat detail representing the lake's long maritime tradition
• Compass-inspired design representing exploration and connection
• Antique-style raised relief for a substantial collector appearance

CONNECTED BY WATER

Turn the medallion over and the story continues.

A sailboat crosses the waters as the sun settles over the horizon. A lighthouse stands watch from the rocky shoreline — a symbol of guidance, endurance and the generations that have navigated these waters.

Across the top:

CONNECTED BY WATER

And beneath the scene:

USA ★ CANADA ★ 2026

SHARED WATERS • SHARED HERITAGE

It isn't about choosing one shore over the other.

It's about celebrating the lake between them.

WHATEVER THE HEADLINES SAY,

THE WATER STILL CONNECTS US.

Lake Ontario has recently returned to the center of public conversation.

But beyond changing headlines, maps and political debates is something far more enduring:

The lake itself.

Families have lived beside it.
Boats have crossed it.
Lighthouses have guided travelers across it.
Communities on both sides have built generations of memories around it.

This medallion was created to commemorate the place, the history and the connection.

Not just a moment in the news.

MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE A STORY HERE
